Die HMS Erebus war eines der wichtigsten Forschungsschiffe ihrer Zeit, ihre Expeditionen galten als bahnbrechend. Im Jahr 1848 verschwand sie spurlos in der Arktis – 2014 wurde sie gefunden. Dies ist ihre Geschichte – voller Aufbruchsgeist und Entdeckerlust, Abenteuer, Tragödien, Mut und Menschheitsgeschichte, mitreißend geschildert von niemand geringerem als Michael Palin: Monty-Python-Star, Weltreisender und begnadeter Erzähler. 19. Mai 1845, Greenhithe, England. Sir John Franklin macht sich mit 134 Männern und zwei perfekt ausgerüsteteten Schiffen, der Terror und der Erebus, auf den Weg ins arktische Eis. Der Ruhm und Ehre versprechende, aber zugleich riskante Auftrag Franklins und seiner Offiziere: Die Nordwestpassage – ein Seeweg von Europa nach Asien, in den Handel und Marine große Hoffnungen setzen – soll bezwungen werden, ihr letzter weißer Fleck kartiert. Doch bald fehlt von den Schiff jede Spur. Ihr Schicksal und das ihrer Crews bleibt mehr als anderthalb Jahrhunderte lang ein Rätsel – bis 2014 vor der Nordküste Kanadas ein wahrhaftiger Schatz gefunden wird: das Wrack der HMS Erebus. Monty-Python-Star Michael Palin erzählt mit brillanter Mischung aus sachlicher Genauigkeit, Empathie und Menschlichkeit die so glanzvolle wie tragische Geschichte der mutigen Entdecker und ihres Flagschiffs: von ihrem größten Erfolg der legendären Reise in die Antarktis, bis zur verhängnisvollen Expedition in die Arktis und ihrem katastrophalen Ende. "Mit enormer Detailkenntnis, präzis und anschaulich berichtet der leidenschaftliche Reisende Michael Palin hier von einer Fahrt, als wäre er selbst dabei gewesen, und schafft es tatsächlich auch, uns beim Lesen die Kälte und Nässe, die Schrecken des Eises und der Finsternis spüren zu lassen." (Denis Scheck, ARD Druckfrisch)

Do Not Adjust Your Set - Episode 2

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Erebus, written and read by Michael Palin. N_______________ THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, HMS Erebus undertook two of the most ambitious naval expeditions of all time. On the first, she ventured further south than any human had ever been. On the second, she vanished with her 129-strong crew in the wastes of the Canadian Arctic, along with the HMS Terror. Her fate remained a mystery for over 160 years. Then, in 2014, she was found. This is her story. _______________ Now available: Michael Palin's North Korea Journals _______________ A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 'Beyond terrific . . . I didn't want it to end.' Bill Bryson 'Illuminated by flashes of gentle wit . . . It's a fascinating story that [Palin] brings full-bloodedly to life.' Guardian 'This is an incredible book . . . The Erebus story is the Arctic epic we've all been waiting for.' Nicholas Crane 'Thoroughly absorbs the reader. . . Carefully researched and well-crafted, it brings the story of a ship vividly to life.' Sunday Times 'A great story . . . Told in a very relaxed and sometimes - as you might expect - very funny Palin style.' David Baddiel, Daily Mail 'Magisterial . . . Brings energy, wit and humanity to a story that has never ceased to tantalise people since the 1840s.' The Times

Erebus: The Story of a Ship

Drawn from his published diaries, this is Michael Palin's account of the making of the Monty Python TV and stage shows, films, books and albums. Monty Python at Work opens on 8th July 1969 with Michael Palin's diary entry for the first day of filming on the very first episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The diary entries that follow – up until the opening of their final feature film, The Meaning of Life, in 1983 – chart the tumultuous story of how the now famous shows and films were conceived and brought to life. Palin records the evolution of Monty Python's comic style, the moments of creative inspiration as well as discord, the persistent self-doubt, and the happy accidents that shaped what are now classic comedy moments. He captures too the group's many anarchic exploits (John Cleese in a bikini; driving a Budget Rent-a-Van up Glencoe in full chainmail; filming 'Scott of the Sahara' on the beach at Torquay…), as well as their battles with BBC suits, budget-conscious film producers and self-appointed censors. Thanks to Palin's as-it-happened accounts, we are taken behind the scenes to watch with unrivalled intimacy the creative processes that led to the finished work, seeing how it was actually put together. By distilling everything about the Pythons at work, this edition of Palin's diaries serves as an intimate guide to the legendary shows, films, books and albums. It will delight Python fans everywhere, and be a source of instruction and inspiration to those who seek to follow in their footsteps. 'No writer-performer has combined professional hilarity and personal sanity more successfully than Michael Palin. Anyone interested in how comedy happens should hang on his every word.' David Mitchell

Monty Python at Work

HMS „Erebus” był jednym z najwspanialszych okrętów, weteranem przełomowych ekspedycji na krańce świata. W 1848 roku wraz z siostrzaną jednostką HMS „Terror” i 129 członkami wyprawy zaginął w Arktyce podczas próby wytyczenia trasy przez Przejście Północno-Zachodnie, a jego los spowiła mgła tajemnicy. W 2014 roku został odnaleziony. Oto jego historia. Książka „Szaleństwo w ciemnościach” to barwny opis doświadczeń tych, którzy jako pierwsi postawili stopę na Ziemi Wiktorii w Antarktydzie, a zaledwie kilka lat później jeden po drugim zamarzli w lodach Arktyki poza zasięgiem desperackich misji ratunkowych. To cudownie sugestywna relacja z prawdziwie niezwykłej przygody, wskrzeszonej przez podróżnika i gawędziarza.

Do Not Adjust Your Set - Episode 3

Brought to you by Penguin. Some years ago a stash of family records was handed down to Michael Palin, among which were photos of an enigmatic young man in army uniform, as well as photos of the same young man as a teenager looking uncomfortable at family gatherings. This, Michael learnt, was his Great-Uncle Harry, born in 1884, died in 1916. He had previously had no idea that he had a Great-Uncle Harry, much less that his life was cut short at the age of 32 when he was killed in the Battle of the Somme. The discovery both shocked him and made him want to know much more about him. The quest that followed involved hundreds of hours of painstaking detective work. Michael dug out every bit of family gossip and correspondence he could. He studied every relevant official document. He tracked down what remained of his great-uncle Harry's diaries and letters, and pored over photographs of First World War battle scenes to see whether Harry appeared in any of them. He walked the route Harry took on that fatal, final day of his life amid the mud of northern France. And as he did so, a life that had previously existed in the shadows was revealed to him. Great-Uncle Harry is an utterly compelling account of an ordinary man who led an extraordinary life. A blend of biography, history, travelogue and personal memoir this is Michael Palin at his very finest. ©2023 Michael Palin (P)2023 Penguin Audio

Great-Uncle Harry

Brought to you by Penguin. In March 2022, Michael Palin travelled the length of the River Tigris through Iraq to get a sense of what life is like in a region of the world that once formed the cradle of civilisation, but that in recent times has witnessed turmoil and appalling bloodshed. It was a journey of sharp, often brutal contrasts. At one moment he would be exploring the old streets of Baghdad or the ancient ruins of Babylon. At the next he would be visiting the war-torn city of Mosul, or learning about the horrific Speicher massacre in Tikrit. Now he shares the journal he meticulously kept during his trip, in which he describes the very varied places he visited, the people he met and the impressions he formed of a country that few outsiders now venture to see. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs taken on the trip, and permeated with his warmth and humour, this is a vivid and varied portrait of a complex country. © Michael Palin 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

Do Not Adjust Your Set - Episode 9

Brought to you by Penguin. THE BOOK BEHIND THE HIT CHANNEL 5 DOCUMENTARY A glimpse of life inside the world’s most secretive country, as told by Britain’s best-loved travel writer. In May 2018, former Monty Python stalwart and intrepid globetrotter Michael Palin spent two weeks in the notoriously secretive Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, a cut-off land without internet or phone signal, where the countryside has barely moved beyond a centuries-old peasant economy but where the cities have gleaming skyscrapers and luxurious underground train stations. His resulting documentary for Channel 5 was widely acclaimed. Now he shares his day-by-day diary of his visit, in which he describes not only what he saw – and his fleeting views of what the authorities didn’t want him to see – but recounts the conversations he had with the country’s inhabitants, talks candidly about his encounters with officialdom, and records his musings about a land wholly unlike any other he has ever visited – one that inspires fascination and fear in equal measure. Written with Palin’s trademark warmth and wit, and illustrated with beautiful colour photographs throughout, the journal offers a rare insight into the North Korea behind the headlines.

North Korea Journal

Terre attraversate con ogni mezzo in un lungo percorso alla scoperta di quel mondo oltre Cortina protagonista dalla fine della Guerra fredda di tumultuosi cambiamenti. Palin ci mette l'occhio del viaggiatore esperto e il tipico dry humour anglosassone, i luoghi e le persone incontrate aggiungono storie affascinanti, autoironia e il punto di vista di chi, in 20 anni, ha visto crollare un mondo e nascerne uno nuovo. Fra incontri surreali, spaccati di un'attualità disarmante e ritratti di paesaggi fuori dal tempo, Palin descrive un mondo tanto vicino quanto sconosciuto e popolato da improbabili wrestler, pendolari boscaioli e malati che si curano tramite irudoterapia con le sanguisughe. Un vero e proprio reportage, ricco di informazioni storiche e di prima mano, da leggere per viaggiare con la mente o per preparare il prossimo itinerario.

L'altro viaggio

Viaggio nella Nuova Europa

Michael Palin è convinto di essere dromomane: praticamente da sempre, è ossessionato dal desiderio di viaggiare. Anche se nella sua prima vita ha fatto il comico e militato nei leggendari Monty Python, il "virus" era in circolo, e nel 1989 la BBC gli propone una cura: ripercorrere i passi di Phileas Fogg, il protagonista de Il Giro del Mondo in 80 Giorni di Jules Verne. Quando parte dalla capitale inglese a bordo dell'Orient Express, Palin non ha mai girato un documentario, non ha uno straccio di canovaccio, è quasi in preda al panico e davanti a sé ha soltanto due punti fermi: fare il giro del mondo senza usare aeroplani (al tempo di Jules Verne non c'erano) tornando a Londra prima dello scoccare degli 80 giorni e mettere insieme abbastanza materiale per 6 documentari da 15 minuti. La BBC ne tirerà fuori 7, visti da 12 milioni di persone, e diventati un culto assoluto. E da questa esperienza irripetibile, Palin ci tirerà fuori anche un libro, diventato un bestseller in tutto il mondo anglosassone. Un viaggio intimo fra luoghi mitici come il canale di Suez, l'India e la Cina, ma anche un viaggio tra i suoi pensieri e le sue riflessioni. Un viaggio ben più profondo di quello fisico, terminato in 79 giorni e 7 ore, e di quello mostrato nella serie TV. Un'impresa d'altri che a 20 anni di distanza – nel 2009 – è stata celebrata con una rimpatriata fra amici, descritta nell'inedita postfazione. E il risultato è un update di quell'epico giro del mondo che unisce le emozioni di ieri e di oggi, e che finalmente arriva anche in Italia grazie a Sagoma Editore, che a maggio 2011 ha già pubblicato Viaggio Nella Nuova Europa, l'ultimo capitolo di questa lunga avventura.
